From: Rosuvastatin reduces neointima formation in a rat model of balloon injury
Gelatinolytic activity assay demonstrated an induction of 92-kD gelatinase B three days after balloon injury in rat common carotid artery. No difference between rosuvastatin treated and controls could be detected (A). Western blot confirmed MMP-9 expression in rat common carotid arteries three days after balloon injury. No significant expression could be detected in non-injured contralateral arteries, which served as controls (B).
